TaxTim says: 2 September 2015 at 11:36 Is your teacher's salary your only income? |
Nathan says: 3 September 2015 at 8:12 Yes, it is. |
TaxTim says: 3 September 2015 at 10:55 Unfortunately, you won't be able to claim this expenditure as a deduction. There are limited expense deductions allowable for salaried employees. It would be best to motivate for the school to reimburse you for these purchases. |
